What a great deal - send billions and billions of dollars in arms to the least stable region in the world. Kind of like putting on a fireworks display across the street from the oil refinery.:confused:
A recent article by Fortune/CNN (http://money.cnn.com/2011/02/10/news/international/america_exports_weapons_full.fortune/) demonstrated how well the arms industry is doing in the Middle East. Not only does the US government provide most of the money to the countries that buy the arms, it also closes the deal for the purchases.
But many of the diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks confirm what arms analysts have long suspected: In backdoor dealings with other nations, American officials acted as de facto pitchmen for U.S.-made weapons.
Listen carefully to this Pete, because I'm going to bash Obama: From reports of recent sales to India, it Looks like Obama is the salesman in chief. Some analysts have referred to the increase in arms sales under the Obama administration as the "Obama arms bazaar.":mad: I don't know how much soul we have left to sell to the devil, but apparently, the President is willing to sell his soul to get jobs.
